I first met Burke Lennihan when Dorothy Archibald brought her home to stay at Days Bay from Mt. Holyoake University in the USA in about 1952. Such a breath of fresh air! Full of fun and laughter. She made a happy marriage with Eric Honey in Wellington in the early 1950s. I lost touch with them when I left for Europe in 1962, where I settled. I mourn her passing - she was such a bright and happy soul.
